| Lists on the subject | |
The SS-N-16 Stallion is a submarine-based guided missile made in Russia. It is used to combat submarines. The GRAU index is RPK-6 and RPK-7 .
technology
The guided missile is ejected from the 533mm / 650mm standard torpedo tubes of submarines. The start can be made from a diving depth of 200 m. After leaving the torpedo tube, the rocket motor ignites and drives the guided weapon to the surface of the water. After piercing the surface of the water, the missile follows a ballistic trajectory. The nuclear warhead or torpedo is ejected in the pre-programmed target area. The nuclear depth charge detonates at a selected water depth. The guided missiles are controlled via an inertial navigation system .
The SS-N-16 is primarily used to combat enemy submarines. The nuclear-equipped versions can also be used in a secondary role against ships or coastal targets.
All Russian submarines with 533 mm torpedo tubes can use the SS-N-16A. The SS-N-16B can be launched from the 650mm torpedo tubes of the Akula-class , Sierra-class , Typhoon-class and Oscar II-class submarines . The 83RN, 84RN and Wodopad-NK versions can also be used from surface vessels.

status
